Yu Darvish, who is set to open the season on the IL with right elbow inflammation, is playing light catch at Petco Park today.

Meanwhile, lefty Omar Cruz, who was optioned two weeks ago is here working with the bullpen and might still be part of the Opening Day roster.

Fantasy Impact:

Darvis is slated to open the season on the injured list. He doesn't have a clear timetable to return, but the fact that he is already playing light catch shows he may not miss too much time in the season.
